I-Phone 8...

WATT is on the speculation list... based on "rumor" if you are a buyer of WATT you're not only speculating; you're gambling...so tight stops...

WATT...Energous Corp...wire-free charging of electronic devices at a distance...
As for the iPhone 8, one of the main rumors so far is related to the inclusion of wireless charging technology in the phone. Wireless charging is an interesting concept, and current options rely on magnetic energy to charge, requiring users to place their device on some sort of compatible pad. Enter Energous Corporation WATT, an innovative wireless charging company that uses RF waves to charge. Energous promises “long-distance” wireless charging, and many people think the company could be teaming up with Apple to incorporate the tech in the iPhone 8.

March 8th...According to a new report from Macotakara, Apple’s flagship 2017 iPhone — a device that has been prematurely dubbed the iPhone 8 — will actually be called the iPhone Edition. While nothing is ever certain until Tim Cook and co. actually walk out on stage, the iPhone Edition nomenclature actually makes a lot more sense than the iPhone 8 name ever did.
First off, releasing a device called the iPhone 8 alongside two iPhone 7s models would immediately make Apple’s non-OLED smartphones seem outdated at launch. Second, the “Edition” naming scheme — thanks to the Apple Watch — is already familiar and fits nicely as a descriptor for Apple’s premium devices.

Naming conventions aside, Macotakara relays that the iPhone Edition may ship much later than the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus. Disappointing news to say the least, the report claims that Apple simply needs more time to test the device before it’s ready for primetime.

Specifically, Apple is said to have a few iPhone Edition prototypes in the EVT (Engineering Validation Test) phase but that no single prototype has reached the DVT (Design Validation Test) phase yet. As a quick primer, DVT is one step above EVT and comes into play when Apple finally nails down the exact design and feature-set it wants to ultimately ship to consumers.

As for the reasons behind the delay, Apple is reportedly still exploring what types of materials it wants to use, the exact display technology it wants to incorporate and whether it wants to do away with the home button or not. As a quick aside, the report claims that Apple is considering using white ceramic as a potential material for the iPhone Edition.

According to the report, the only iPhone Edition features Apple has firmly signed off on include the display size, wireless charging functionality and a dual camera setup. The report also notes that Apple has no plans to abandon the Lightning connector for a USB-C solution, thus dousing an intriguing rumor which emerged last week.

Now as for when Apple’s somewhat mythical iPhone Edition might hit store shelves, well, that’s still anybody’s guess. Shedding a little bit of light on the matter, Digitimes last week claimed that Apple isn’t planning to begin mass producing its edgeless iPhone until September on account of a new fingerprint sensor solution it’s planning to implement. If this is indeed the case, the iPhone Edition may not arrive in stores until November.

This chart suggests you buy above $14 or above $16 (volume would be nice)...IF $14 were to fail; you wouldn't want to buy until $13 is tested or Price reverses back UP above $14...next $12 could be a gift...

Investors seeking higher-risk plays with potentially high rewards shouldn’t overlook Energous
Many tech investors dream about buying the next "multibagger" stock that grows from a small cap to a mega-cap stock. But investors rarely notice these growing companies when they're still small- or mid-cap plays, and sometimes only buy them after they've become household names.
WATT...Energous Corp
If you've ever wished that wireless charging technology could make all the cables behind your TV or computer disappear, then you should pay close attention to Energous. Energous' WattUp technology powers stationary charging pads which can charge devices from up to 15 feet away. The FCC approved the miniature version of the tech for Internet of Things devices last May.
Energous hasn't launched any commercial products yet, but it will start integrating its WattUp transmitter designs into its partners' consumer products this year. It believes that those orders can lift its free cash flow to break even levels by the third quarter. For now, Energous' only source of revenue is "engineering revenue" from potential customers and partners. That total came in at just $1 million last quarter.

On the bright side, Energous has secured deals with some major players so far. Last year, Dialog Semiconductor signed a deal with Energous, which includes $10 million investment and co-marketing deals. The two companies launched a small wireless charging RF circuit in early February, which some industry watchers believe might be used in the next iPhone. Numerous partners also showcased WattUp-enabled prototypes at CES this year.

Britain’s Dialog Semiconductor Plc. to develop smartphone chips, a deal that will help the government-linked Chinese technology giant expand its growing semiconductor empire. Unigroup mobile-design subsidiary Spreadtrum & RDA and the British supplier of chips to Apple Inc.’s iPhones and iPads are considering a joint venture in eastern China, through which the pair will jointly design communications components. Dialog, which gets almost 70 percent of its revenue from Apple according to data compiled by Bloomberg
